Utah Phillips – The Telling Takes Me Home chords
Chords:
[VERSE 1]G CLet me sing to you all the old songs I knowC7 DOf the wild, windy places locked in timeless snowEm DAnd the wide, crimson deserts where the muddy rivers flowC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CCome along with me to some places that I've beenC7 DWhere people all look back and they still remember whenEm DAnd the quicksilver legends, like sunlight, turn and bendC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CWalk along some wagon road, down the iron railC7 DPast the rusty Cadillacs that mark the boom town trailEm DWhere dreamers never win and doers never failC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CI'll sing of my amigos, come from down belowC7 DWhisper in their loving tongue the songs of MexicoEm DThey work their stolen Eden, lost so long agoC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CI'll tell you all some lies, just made up for funC7 DAnd the loudest, meanest brag, it can beat the fastest gunEm DI'll show you all some graves that tell where the West was wonC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CAnd I'll sing about an emptiness the East has never knownC7 DWhere coyotes don't pay taxes and a man can live aloneEm DAnd you've got to walk forever just to find a telephoneC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me homeG CLet me sing to you all those old songs I knowC7 DOf the wild, windy places locked in timeless snowEm DAnd the wide, crimson deserts where the muddy rivers flowC GIt's sad, but the telling takes me home
